collecting eggs...

[MedJet]

how do i get the animal breeder to collect the eggs from the henhouse? Do they need some sort of basket in storage to use? thanks.

Just assign a worker to the henhouse, and go to the second tab to assign the % of time you want them to spend on what task (like collecting eggs, or collecting feathers).
As with all work buildings, when you select a task, it'll show you at the bottom what your worker will need for it. In this case, for the henhouse, they don't need anything.

Keep in mind that you need at least one adult female chicken in the henhouse for the worker to be able to get eggs. Also make sure the henhouse has chicken feed in its feeder, or they will produce very little eggs (the worker will also refill it automatically if he/she has access to animal feed).

Also; the workers do NOT interact with the visual animal products you can see and collect yourself (like the eggs in the nests, the manure in the stable, etc). The visual eggs in the nests are a bonus that only the player can interact with.

To add to what Morri said, the eggs will appear automatically in the food storage and the feathers automatically in the resource storage. You can go collect the visual eggs/feathers in the nests yourself as bonus eggs and feathers.

If they're disappearing from the food storage, your villagers may be eating them. If you don't want the villagers to eat your eggs, make sure you turn them off as a consumable in the management screen (furthest tab to the right of the management screen. It's where you can control what they eat, drink and burn for fuel).
